Now, Yaelle actually lives here, in the LA-Orange County area. I actually live here, as well. Unless NAH commutes every day to LA/centralOC area (south OC is pretty far-flung from LAX), NAH doesn't regularly see LA area's airspace any more than Yaelle and I see San Diego's airspace.
I fly the VFR corridor right over LAX! many times.
Flown to Catalina and Big Bear many times!
It’s an airplane, they go places. LOL
San Diego area also gets contrails over the ocean sir.
There is no way I could compare the launches out of Cape Canaveral (seen from the Martin & Palm Beach County line) to those who witnessed them within 30-40 miles. No way. So I’m much more likely to give some weight to an average citizen who’s lived in that area 20 or so years and has witnessed things in the sky.
And it cracks me up about people believing our military would/should tell the public what *they* feel they “have a right” to know.
Give me a break.
Our military owes citizens nothing other than their protection. And part of the defense of any nation is confidentiality, secrecy and not showing your cards to the other side.
Sadly, I think this nation is going to need to see another draft. I can’t think of anything else other than this which would teach another generation or two about supporting our military leaders, “loose lips sink ships” and being a team-USA player.
True dat.
I am out every day now looking for another one of these. Nothing to report.
